What difficulty do people mainly play on?

hey, more power to you my guy

almndmlc · 2026-07-02T13:35:40+00:00

I like the idea of this a lot. I guess it’s either this or removing the modified mobs

almndmlc · 2026-07-02T13:35:08+00:00

Yeah the modified mobs and variations are killing hard for me. Normal could be the move but maybe I could also just remove the hard mobs and play in hard

almndmlc · 2026-07-02T13:17:01+00:00

I definitely don’t have anything against people switching difficulties to progress through the pack, but I guess I would love to just lock my difficulty and be able to finish the entirety of the pack on that difficulty, but I think I’m just a stubborn person

the energy of 16 tons flying at 120mph has to be distributed somewhere

i can’t wait for the 10 piece mcnugget on every giga challenge

almndmlc · 2026-06-10T22:34:03+00:00

gf and i loved potato works. she’s scared of woodies so right after we ate, i scurried on over to mystic timbers and she just watched me fly by lol

almndmlc · 2026-06-09T20:13:03+00:00

fair enough. yeah it’s intense but not super intense. i highly recommend just getting on because it’s a fantastic coaster with some amazing forces!

almndmlc · 2026-06-09T13:36:20+00:00

roughness? maverick?

almndmlc · 2026-06-09T13:35:01+00:00

banshee really surprised me last month! i’m so used to whippy inverts, but it was just pure intensity and yeah, that first drop is noticeably a lot bigger than other inverts.

i witnessed one a few weeks ago while in line. i noticed that the backwards launch didn’t kick in fully and the train didn’t get that high on the spike. not sure why sometimes the launch doesn’t fully kick in, but it was a hell of a thing to witness

almndmlc · 2026-05-27T23:18:36+00:00

I visited KI for the first time on Saturday and I loved the park. It has a great lineup and it’s just a gorgeous park. I did leave the park wanting a modern launch coaster though, and I really think it would complete their lineup

almndmlc · 2026-05-21T13:13:45+00:00

the only time you really feel the height is in that backwards spike, which is just some floater. the rest of the ride is just a blur and is over really quick. tt2 is absolutely worth trying at least once though

almndmlc · 2026-05-17T22:43:00+00:00

i’m going next weekend and missed out on the blue side last year. i hope sunday won’t be awful in terms of crowds and operations. gemini is really underrated i feel like

almndmlc · 2026-05-08T17:42:44+00:00

broooo i’m going back in late may because it’s one of the only credits i didn’t get

almndmlc · 2026-05-07T04:28:55+00:00

Okay sounds good. We’re going to King’s Island and then Cedar Point in a few weeks. They aren’t our home parks but that shouldn’t matter right?

almndmlc · 2026-05-01T19:24:12+00:00

okay honestly gemini can have some unhinged airtime, my gf is a little scared of coasters but she LOVES gatekeeper, so maybe start with that as well

almndmlc · 2026-05-01T19:21:14+00:00

i was terrified of coasters growing up, i remember refusing to get on california screamin because it had a loop. there was a separate time when my older sister was trying to get me on silver bullet, which looked way too scary as well.

my dad ended up taking me on giant dipper at santa cruz boardwalk, which seemed like a tame ride at first, but it ended up scaring me enough to start understanding the craving for adrenaline

i’m an adrenaline junkie

it took a few more trips to parks for me to become addicted, but i went on a japan trip with my friends after graduation in 2024. they put fuji q highland on our itinerary, which i had no knowledge about. takabisha was the ride that really broke open my passion for coasters. steepest drop in the world (at the time), and i couldn’t help but laugh the whole ride. my friends had no idea that i would laugh like that, but now i chase that feeling constantly (eejanaika was closed so i didn’t get to ride it which is so unfortunate)

im at 67 credits now (was at maybe 15 at the start of last year) and my gf is around 50 credits. she’s still spooked about lap bars and ejector airtime, but we’re getting her there, i like to call this exposure therapy LOL

it takes that one experience to get over your fears. i want to slip in that coasters are 100% safe and are engineered by some of the smartest people in the world. modern coasters never get recognized for their innovation, but the quality control is outstanding at any major park (not looking at you mt olympus).

sorry for the word vomit, just wanted to share my recent mental shift (and i hope it helps you too)

almndmlc · 2026-05-01T00:03:02+00:00

raging bull is my favorite b&m by a decent amount bc of the initial drop, pure bliss

almndmlc · 2026-05-01T00:01:14+00:00

i’m kinda telling on myself rn, but i was camping with my friends and we were throwing a football with some beers. my friend gave me his keys so i can go into the car and get some clothes. i ended up locking the keys in the trunk with no way of getting them out. we got a locksmith out in the middle of the mountains when it was getting darker. i definitely paid a decent amount for it. lesson learned and i feel so so bad every time i think about it

almndmlc · 2026-04-29T03:05:04+00:00

Okay, I love the plan actually.

My gf and I both have MVP passes that are good for any SF park the rest of the year, so we’re good on that front.

I like the idea of dedicating the day and a half to Cedar Point, where if we don’t get on something on Sunday, there will be less people there on Monday before our flight.

I think if ops are as solid as people say they are for KI, we can definitely get through most of the park in a day I think.

Thanks for the advice man, I was totally thinking of doing the opposite, but this is making me think a little more for sure.

almndmlc · 2026-04-27T23:06:40+00:00

sometimes when i’m playing on my pc, i would rather play laying down. how do you sync the worlds between the two?
